Working on my first upper build.  Would like your thoughts on what I have so far, what I plan on getting and a couple of items I lack.

Already Bought:
Vltor MUR 1 upper reciever
18" SS Black Hole Weaponry standard profile barrel
Ranier Arms Match Grade Nickel Boron BCG

Future Purchases:
Ranier Arms Raptor charging handle
Fortis RED nitride muzzle break
Samson 15"EX FF handguard

Need help with following items:
Adjustable low profile gas block
Need help on choosing an optic.  Thinking maybe a decent 2-5 scope for 250-400$ and maybe a relatively cheap red dot off to the side at a 45degree angle for close targets.
Also am pretty set on Cerakote after everything is finished.  Anybody have a better suggestion on finishing or anything negative to input on Cerakote?

Please give me your opinions on all listed items with any pros/cons.

thank you

sounds fancy.








Look at primary arms for a magnifier/red dot combo.  Lots of people give them shit, but their stuff has never let me down, or any one that I personally know

















Why an adjustable gas block?

















I got nothing for your other questions

Look at SLR Rifleworks and Syrac for the gas block.  SLR makes my favorite one, but it's a little bit (a few tenths) taller than standard low profile gas blocks, so it doesn't fit under all free float hand guards.  If the SLR won't fit under your rail, then go with Syrac.
